The Great Google Buzz Scavenger Hunt

Hello Universe!

This Saturday, August 14th,  I will be launching The Great Google Buzz Scavenger Hunt. Now you're probably wondering, "What the hell is a Google Buzz Scavenger Hunt?" This is a contest that challenges its participants to go out into the world and photograph (or film) their adventures. Once they've documented each challenge, contestants will be asked to upload their photos/videos onto Google Buzz and get the community buzzing.

The contest will begin on Saturday, August 14th, 2010 @ 12:00am (Pacific Time) and will run until Friday, August 20th, 2010 @ 11:59pm. On August 14th ten (10) challenges will be released on YouTube and Google Buzz which contestants will have seven (7) days to complete.

For this contest you will need three things:

1. A Google Account (with access to Buzz & YouTube)
2. A digital camera / camcorder (or camera phone) with photo and video capabilities.
3. A sense of adventure!

Once each challenge has been completed, upload your photos and videos and share them on Google Buzz. Tell people about your experiences with each challenge (what you did, who you met, what you saw, etc) and get a discussion going. The more creative the better!

Once you have started your discussion on Buzz, e-mail the link to buzzscavengerhunt@gmail.com and it will be reviewed by our volunteer judges. Entries will be judged based on creativity, originality and the entry's general sense of fun. A Grand Prize Winner will be announced on F4st3r Th4n L1ght & Buzz during the week of August 23rd, 2010. The Grand Prize Winner will will one of three prizes, courtesy of DoctorMoo's Etsy Shop:

1. Plush Bo-bomb
2. Plush TARDIS
3. Kirby Scarf (Women's)

A Google Sites page will be created at the end of the contest, compiling all submissions. If you have any questions before or during the contest, please feel free to contact buzzscavengerhunt@gmail.com.
